Eduard Maria Oettinger

After 1829 he edited different periodicals at Berlin, Hamburg, Mannheim, and Leipzig, and wrote several dramas, novels, and romances. He died in a village near Dresden. • His poems, which he published under the title Buch der Liebe, were published at Leipzig in 1850. Besides a historical work- Geschichte des danischen Hofs von Christian II, bis Friedrich VII (Hamburg, 1859, 8 vols.) • He published his famous bibliographical work, Bibliographie biographique, ou dictionnaire de 26,000 ouvrages, relatifs a l'histoire de la vie publique et privee des hommes celebres de tons les temps et de toutes les nations (Leipzig 1850; the same in 2 vols. Paris, 1866): • Historisches Archiv, enthaltend ein systematisch – chronologisch geordnetes Verzeichniss von 17,000 der brauchbarsten Quellenzum Studium der Geschichte (Karlsruhe, 1841): • Moniteur des dates, contenant un million de renseignements biographiques, geneal. Et historiques (Dresden, 1866–1868, 6 vols. 4to) – a work which, as a biographico-genealogico-historical lexicon, is not only indispensable to librarians, historians, and bibliographers, but which at its first appearance was unanimously praised as a gigantic work of German industry and scholarship. A supplement to his Monitelur des dates is now published by Dr. Schramm, the biographer of Oettinger. See Literarischer Handweiser (1872), p. 368; Kurz, Literaturgeschichte, vol.
